I wanted to report an issue I've run into with the installer:
I'm attempting to install using the 2.1.8 Build 38 installer, and consistently—whether I choose to install the optional components or not—the installer hangs when I first run it. The main installer window's green progress bar fills completely, then it launches what looks to be a sub-installer (with just the name "Setup"), but that window never appears. (Using AHK to access the Win API, I can find the window but it's 0x0 in size.) At that point, any attempt to click on the installer window (including to move it, to click "Cancel", whatever) just makes the Windows error sound. I must use Task Manager to kill it.
I've rebooted, tried with the hardware I was hoping to use vJoy with connected and disconnected, and as I wrote before, tried installing with and without the optional components. If I don't reboot after end-tasking it and running it again, it interrupts telling me that "Installer for Joy KMDF driver" is using "files that need to be updated by Setup" and asks if I want to close it. If I say "yes" (which seems like the right choice), it again hangs. However, if I say "no", the installer completes. But if I uninstall and start over, once again it hangs until I kill, try again, and tell it NOT to kill the "Installer for Joy KMDF driver".

Well, this sounds bad enough. Which version of Windows do you use? If it is pre-7 then I'm afraid I cannot help.
You could also try to install vJoy manually. You will notice that it creates a vJoy folder under Program Files: Open a command window there as an administrator and run vJoyInstall - this should install vJoy and create a log file.

I'm having this exact same issue in Windows 10 Pro version 21H1. Did you ever find a solution?
